What wearers say
“It's OK but it's not the best dupe of Black Opium. The entire brand is all dupes. And they are dupes of frags that BBW has also duped, and the BBW ones are better and cheaper. Save yourself an extra ten bucks and get BBW Midnight Addiction instead.”
“I have Black Opium but a friend gifted me this last year. I wear it to work whenever I don't want to waste my real Black Opium. It smells suuuuuper close to the original! But the lasting power isn't quite as good and the dry-down isn't quite as deep. It's a good cheapie to wear but the original is still better!”
“My roommate gave me this perfume because she found it too sweet-smelling. I like this fragrance. It's like a sweeter, younger sister of Black Opium. Midnight Cafe smells like sweet coffee on me.Unfortunately, this scent has no longevity on my skin or clothes. I'm using it as a bedtime scent for now. As much as I like this perfume, I'm not sure if I'd purchase it because it doesn't last.”
